Europol and ENFAST launch "Most Wanted in the EU" list for 19 fugitives wanted for crimes against children and elderly
ENFAST and Europol published profiles of 19 fugitives from 14 countries for sexual exploitation of children and frauds targeting older people.
ENFAST, the European Network of Fugitive Active Search Teams, with support from Europol, has launched a campaign called "Most Wanted in the EU" aimed at locating 19 fugitives wanted by 14 countries for crimes against children and older people.
The individuals named on the list are suspected of offences including sexual exploitation of children and frauds whose victims were elderly people. The group on the list includes both suspects currently subject to criminal proceedings and convicts who are evading custodial sentences.
Cross-border search and public help
ENFAST and Europol urged citizens to consult the profiles of the wanted people on the "Most Wanted in the EU" website and to provide any information anonymously that could assist in locating them.
The campaign covers fugitives sought by Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland and Spain.
The website was launched in 2016, and over the course of ten years 191 fugitives have been arrested on the basis of the published profiles.
